A dash means the release did not state a figure we could extract, not that the figure is zero. Penalty and disgorgement are stored separately so aggregates across the library do not double-count the same dollars.

What is alleged to have happened

On August 16, 2013 the SEC accepted settlements with North East Capital, LLC, an unregistered investment adviser, and its principal Anthony T. Vicidomine. The order finds that from November 2011 to March 2012 he took $189,415 of the fund's assets as unearned incentive fees, and that the fund raised money in an offering that violated Securities Act Section 5, alongside Advisers Act and Investment Company Act violations. The record previously showed the respondent as 'North East Capital' and 'LLCand Anthony T. Vicidomine'.
